You will provide a first class retail service to our visitors, in person, by telephone and when processing internet sales. It will be your responsibility to ensure that retail areas are clean, tidy and well stocked, that cash is handled and sales processed accurately and efficiently and all our customers, from many countries and backgrounds, have a great retail experience.
You will also be required to assist with admissions and guiding when required.
You must have previous experience within a customer service environment, cash handling and numerical skills, and be familiar with using tills and handing and moving bulky stock items. You should also be passionate about sales and have sound merchandising skills developed within a retail environment.
